What seems like eons ago I started building four new M8a speakers to replace my energy's which replaced me maggies...anyway I've made a lot of progress lately so I thought I'd share some pics I took this weekend.
Here's a few shots of the box's and the cross overs. I decided to take the easy route with regard to finishing them so what I'll be doing is making a black soak from acoustic fabirc that will slip around the sides, front and backs. The top and bottom will have a black cover panel that will be rounded over and attached with velcro. I rounded over the back edges with my router and for the front I simply glued on some quater rounds to lift the cloth above the drivers and gasket material.
The cross overs will be held in place with industrial velcro and as soon as the L-pads arrive I should be ready to give at least one set a try!
Low Pass XO's
High Pass XO's
While building these I also decided to rebuild my subs so they're built and finished in a similar fashion as the M8a's . These will act as stands for the M8a's Presently I'm using a pair of Paradigm atoms as mains...these will move up into the living room for my second zone as soon as the M8a's are finished.
